Not sure if this is the right section to be put in, but mods please move if need be.

I just lined up a new auction link from the website. This allows anyone to browse available Japanese vehicles, along with many other useful features such as previous auction statistics, model specifications, etc....

I just linked up a secondary auction site for anyone who wants to use it

There's a lot of improvements from the previous one, and that one is still available if you prefer it.

there are some seriously dated threads about insurance issues in both Ontario and PEI. I bring it up because I currently live in Ontario, but come november PEI will be my primary residence. Seems there are some dated posts about PEI banning RHD vehicles. I'm really interested in buying...

Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of purchasing a BC registered vehicle. For any Oregonians out there with delicas, where have you gotten your insurance? What are the rates like?

Most importantly, where's your favorite place in Oregon to take it?!

I went through Hagerty. I am paying $446 USD per year with a $1,000 deductible. State Farm didn't know how to insure it, but they want another stab at a quote. However, without a 17 digit VIN, they don't seem to know what to do. I'll be darned if they want to insure it as an '89 Mitsubishi Van, and...

I'm going to look at a 1989 L300 Delica tomorrow. It's a low-roof with a manual, 4WD, and the 4D56. I've briefly looked it over once, and it appears to be clean and very low rust. That being said, what are some things I should specifically look for on this vehicle? Anything in particular?

They sold L300s here until 2015 so they're the most common van you see on the road- as you probably noticed ;-)

Manuals are a bit rare. There's a design fault which starts with 5th gear, the mainshaft nut comes loose and the gears move around, eventually failing in a spectacular manner. It's...

I recently bought a first generation L400 97 Delica from a dealer and it has DOT on inside of headlight. There is no E code on this headlight. Is this a illegal headlight for BC? I was informed by someone that it is not legal? That Delica never had dot headlights from Japan. Have I been scammed by...

...If there's an arrow pointing to the right ➞ then the headlamp is for the wrong (left) side of the road. That's a little counterintuitive until you realise the arrow, as you face it , is pointing to the side of the road the headlamp is for use on.

Has anyone had any experience registering in California? I just imported a Delica from BC and drove back to California. I was able to get plates and tags at the Crescent City DMV on my way back to San Diego, but I am still awaiting my Registration and Title from the main DMV in Sacramento. I have a...

We sold over a dosen Delica's to California, the process it pretty strait forward ,and you don't need any loop holes. Please contact me directly
for more information.

Hi,
as I wrote in a recent post I intend to ship to Vancouver in April.

1. So far I was unable to get an insurance for my German foreign vehicle! It is just not possible. Can anybody please give me a hint what I could do?
ICBC tells me to go to any Broker but they assume I want to import the car....

Hey Andy,
I am coming on a working holiday visa and prefer to stay for a year (if I find a job). Most of the time in BC I guess. Of course no resident status. My car is LHD.
Anyway, having an insurance from the states (if that works out) I would be excepted by an vehicle inspection. But still try...

I just have to say Pacific Coast Auto Imports was incredibly helpful in my quest for a Delica. Even though I did not buy from them directly I was able to receive invaluable help from Derek regarding my van. I was turned back at the border because of ineligible manufacture date documentation but was...

I can't seem to find any information on driving my Delica from the border in Washington state to my home in Kentucky. I've contacted KY DMV and they seem to have no problem registering it. They will not, however issue a temporary tag for me to drive it across country. I have insurance in the States...

After a few glowing praises about older Delicas I've decided to look into this as a replacement for our current vehicle. What are your thoughts on import vs. local purchase? We're about 4 hrs from Vancouver, so we're close enough to check out the importers there or pick up the one we import...

Thanks for your reply!
Our winning bit was approximately $1000.00
Wow that seems like a great deal compared to what I'm seeing out there now. I looked up Weldon, thanks for the tip. So the $2000 for importing all went to him or to Thomson too (I couldn't find info on that recommendation)?

About to buy an L400... Marty from Amazing Auto Imports was wise enough to make sure I had insurance options first. Turns out my broker is only coming up with Facility and I'm afraid the rates will be nuts. Any other Ontario owners with insurance? Also while I'm on the topic, are there any Ontario...

I'm halfway to you :) Delica in Saskatoon. Insurance here in Saskatchewan is very easy. James
